'It's definitely not over for both Verstappen and Hamilton'

The pair have been fighting for the lead in the world championship all season, and it's certainly been an intense battle. While Hamilton was in the lead at the start of the year, Verstappen then took over in Monaco. Just before the summer break, however, the British driver then regained the top spot, which means Verstappen will be looking to strike another blow in Belgium.

Kees van de Grint tells RTL Slipstream that he expects that both drivers won't be rid of each other for a while. "I think it's not over yet and that we will still see a fierce battle between those two. And Pérez and Bottas have to help now, so you have to expect support from them. But it's definitely not over for both Verstappen and Hamilton."

Important Grands Prix on the schedule

For both drivers three important races await. While they are in Belgium this weekend, Verstappen and Hamilton are at Zandvoort the weekend after. Following that is the race at Monza, where it is expected the first signs of which driver has the best chance of winning the world title will emerge.
